More than 40 governments in interwar France

French governments changed frequently between the wars: a commonly cited count is 42 cabinets from 1919 to 1940. The total depends on the period boundaries and whether a cabinet reconstruction counts as a new government. France’s National Assembly describes repeated cabinet changes, including five governments between the 1932 election and February 1934. “More than forty” is therefore a fair summary, not a fixed exact count.
